Leonardo Hotel Nottingham

8/10 Good
"Comfortable bed, clean room, close to train station. Stayed 3 nights. The first night we were given room 206 which was right above busy London Street. It was very noisy. When we first arrived a maintenance man showed up to check the shower saying there were complaints about a loud noise. He did not find anything. In the morning when we turned the shower on, the pressure was high and it made a horrendous noise. No amount of adjustment would fix it. Had to shower with the noise. It was clear to me that there was a bad / clogged diverter valve and when combined with the high pressure it caused the pipes to squeal - not a quick fix. I told the desk of the noise problems and they were very accommodating and moved us to the 10th floor. No more noise problems there. The only problem was low water pressure in the shower. Other than the noise and water pressure it was a fine stay. The only other matter to be aware of is that if you want the morning buffet at the discounted price you need to purchase the meals by the midnight before."
